curling, but do not cut into the lean.

• Grid on broiler pan wrong side-up. Grease does not drain into broiler pan. Always place the grid on

the broiler pan with the ribs up and the slots down to allow grease to drip into the pan.

• Broiler pan used without grid or grid cover with aluminum foil.

DO NOT use the broiler pan without

the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.

when broiling frequently. Grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
